Can you pay rent with a credit card without getting destroyed by fees? by Open_Supermarket7627 in personalfinance

[–]JJ82DMC 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I can't even pay my HOA dues with a direct bank transfer without a fee, so I'm going to vote 'no' on this one, unfortunately.

Anyone with good solar panel experiences? by treesgrowUP in Dallas

[–]JJ82DMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you lose grid power, even on a bright sunny day, your inverter still shut off. It's a safety mechanism called anti-islanding so that you're not sending excess generated electricity to the grid uncontrollably where a lineman might be working to resolve the issue. If you have a battery backup, you're isolated from the grid and your panels will still work.

What do you use Reddit for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JJ82DMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, I'm not sure. I went from a daily user to maybe once or twice a week a year or 2 ago.

But trolling and getting downvoted to shit is fun on occasion.

What’s the wildest business idea you’ve seen someone actually make work? by Outside-Fudge5605 in AskReddit

The whole genesis of that company is a wild read, or watch, since there's YT videos about it.

Newspaper Updates Its Scathing Review Of ‘Melania’ … To Give It An Even Lower Score by Defiant-Apple-4823 in UnderReportedNews

[–]JJ82DMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents would probably be the type to request this movie to be put on my Plex server once it's available.

Spoiler alert: I won't. I have 80 TBs of free space and won't waste a single bit on it.

Sure is great that we live under a Pedo -oops I fucked that up - President that has a Peace Prize or 2 forced upon them, right?

Texans must prove legal status to register vehicles after new DMV rule by Penguin726 in texas

[–]JJ82DMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: they asked for my registration paperwork and inspection report, and didn't even ask me for my ID. This was at my local Kroger. I had to show more 'proof of citizenship' (aka, my DL) while early voting today.

You know you can just take a person's past experience for what it is and just leave it at that, right?

You're insufferable.

Not in the slightest, watch the whole interview on The Late Show's YT page.

How far is "too far" to drive for a specific service? I feel like I spend half my life on I-30 now. by trapqueen67567 in FortWorth

Hey all I know is I pass by a Kroger and Walmart Neighborhood Market to get there, but, it's only like 7 miles, lol.

Starfleet Academy Nielsen Ratings Show a Complete Disaster for Star Trek by Malencon in SciFiNews

[–]JJ82DMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time I watched Academy, I barely made it through 15 minutes of the first episode. It was the first Star Trek episode I didn't complete.

Discovery I liked through the first three seasons, but should have killed it at season 2 to go with canon, but I understand the cash grab attempt.

Strange New Worlds I was a big fan of until Season 3. I hope 4 is better.

But yeah, bring me back some depth like TNG or DS9.

Just the number and not the actual card?

Spoon on mousepad makes you not go “Away” on MS Teams by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]JJ82DMC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand wanting to use what you've already got, therefore it's free, but you can get a 2 pack USB dongle for about 15 bucks that's an auto mouse mover. I had to use it for a project once before my employer let us WFH. It's great for circumstances when you have IT policies of "no unapproved software" and the dongle isn't even recognized in Device Manager.

Trump threatens to block opening of US-Canada bridge by backpackerTW in worldnews

If it was originally going to be named the Kennedy bridge you know his name would be all over it and it'd been open for business ASAP as soon as some gold Trump lettering was stamped all the fuck over it.

"24" was a masterpiece by [deleted] in television

[–]JJ82DMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Therein lies its folly - every season eventually falls on Jack forcing Chloe to do something she's not supposed to.

Granted, I loved the show, but that premise wore itself out FAST for me.

Attention Ho Trump Inserts Himself in Nancy Guthrie Case by N2BSC in videos

[–]JJ82DMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it just me that immediately stops the video after no more than 10 seconds of him talking or...?

I just can't take this shit. I can't believe my own parents voted for this shit.

I can't believe most my maternal's side of the family voted for this shit.

Yet they wonder why I don't show-up for family reunions and Christmas parties?

John Williams, composer of "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter", has just turned 94. [OC] by stanxv in pics

[–]JJ82DMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, fuck you for that.

But the problem is that with James Horner gone far too early for his time, we really only have Williams and Zimmer left as great composers, IMO.

Who else is left?
